Updating Portable Licenses

When you renew your maintenance, we send you a new license file. This file will enable future versions of SIMetrix up until the time when your maintenance expires. That way you only need a new license once a year, not every time a new version is released.

Below we explain how to install the new license when you receive it.

Important Note

You receive a new license when maintenance is renewed to enable future versions. If you choose not to renew your maintenance, your old license will continue to work with your existing SIMetrix or SIMetrix/SIMPLIS version. Except in exceptional circumstances, we always issue non-expiring licenses.

Installing License

You must be logged in with administrator privilege to install licenses. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 and have "User Account Control" enabled you must start SIMetrix in Administrator mode by right clicking the
SIMetrix icon and selecting "Run as Administrator". You must do this even if you are logged in as an administrator.
